Additional Units Coming Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane!

It’s been a few days since the conclusion of ARCANE Season 2, but this is big (and slightly spoiler-y) news coming to TFT! The champions will be made available near my birthday, too! What a delightful treat~

======

TLDR: Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane is adding three ultra-powerful champions from Arcane as 6-cost units. Mel, Viktor, and Warwick will be playable starting on December 5, 2024.

What you need to know: 

• Along with the evolution of the characters during the final season of Arcane, Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane is evolving as well.
• When Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane launched, some very important characters were missing from the set. Three ultra-powerful 6-costs are about to enter the Convergence. And just like they did in Arcane, they’re completely changing the game.
  • Watch the Dev Drop to learn more about the challenges of bringing these iconic characters from Arcane to Teamfight Tactics.
  • Check out Part 2 of Nightmare on Reroll Street where TFT’s mascot Pengu and his fellow Little Legends are thrown into the world of Arcane.
• Here’s what players can expect with the arrival of the rare, late-game units:
  • Mel: Mel is at the peak of her power, dashing around the battlefield, reducing damage to allies, and unleashing stored damage. After casting her ability enough, she’ll shield your Tactician from death.
    • Trait: Banished Mage
  • Viktor: A glorious, extremely tall evolved Viktor fires his death ray instead of auto-attacking, can stun entire boards, and will make everyone a believer—whether they like it or not.
    • Trait: Machine Herald
  • Warwick: He jumps around, executing units, and as soon as a few have died, Warwick enters a frenzied state, becoming unstoppable, ripping enemies apart with increased damage and omnivamp.
    • Traits: Blood Hunter / Experiment
• Mel, Viktor, and Warwick will be available with patch 14.24 (December 5, 2024) on PC and mobile.
• Joining Arcane Jinx Unbound, TFT’s second Unbound Tactician, Arcane Warwick Unbound, also makes his ferocious debut in patch 14.24.
• The TFT Macao Open on Dec 13-15 will be played on the updated version of Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane.
• Don’t miss the ultimate celebration of Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane to hear more about the game’s 2025 roadmap, collect unique emotes from watching the global roster of co-streamers, and meet Pufflet, a cheeky new Little Legend inspired by Macao and its iconic egg tarts.
  • Spectator tickets for the TFT Macao Open are still available for purchase.

Quote from Shawn Elizabeth Main, Lead Set Designer for Teamfight Tactics: Into the Arcane: “From the start, we knew that we wanted the set to evolve alongside the show, and  Mel, Viktor, and Warwick deserved an entrance that showcased their massive transformations. That’s why we decided to save them until after Arcane Season 2 had premiered—so they could arrive in the Convergence in their true, final forms. We can’t wait to see how players evolve their playstyles to deal with this super rare, extremely powerful trio.”
